“Democrats’ first steps to find their way out of the political wilderness following their losses in November will come when they choose a new chair,” Politico reports.
“Following their last defeat, in 2016, the race for Democratic National Committee chair turned into a proxy battle between progressives and the establishment.
Now, Democrats are hoping to sidestep an intra-party feud that could further rupture the party.”“But the race for their leader, scheduled for Feb. 1, and decided by 448 committee members, remains wide open.”
